Former Arizona State and Notre Dame quarterback Drew Pyne is transferring to Missouri, he told ESPN in a phone interview Sunday.
Pyne said he committed on a trip this weekend to Columbia, the only place he has visited. He will enroll after the spring semester and expects to have three years of eligibility remaining.
He began his career at Notre Dame, where he went 8-2 as a starter after arriving as an ESPN 300 recruit. He returned to Notre Dame this semester to graduate with a degree from the school, and is spending the term as a regular student while also working out five days a week with a trainer.
Pyne said the time away from a program gave him the opportunity to look for the “right situation,” which he said he found at Missouri.
The likely scenario for Pyne will be to back up multiyear Missouri starter Brady Cook in 2024.
